Sounds to me like it related to the charger. The spring loaded coupler between the blower snout and rotor packs are known to cause issues with wearing the shaft down over time.

although this more often than Not produces a knocking noise at low revs and shutdown but could be worth exploring.

Has it got a standard blower pulley on it? It almost sounds like it’s trying to make a whine which the standard pulley won’t produce. How many kms on it?

I’m no expert but I’d certainly be starting with the blower.

as far as I know it’s standard I only purchased the car 5 days ago. But yeh if you change pulley size you need to get it tuned again .

You expected them to diagnose the issue from your video?

Perhaps take the ‘polite but firm’ approach when you are there in person with the car..

Turns out
now I’ve found out it’s had 2.5inch pulley added and a tune 500rwhp. the thing is not running well regardless. seem to be surging at high throttle engage. .
It’s going in for a tune next week. You think it needs injectors installed running lean? Or just a good tune from someone who knows what they are doing ?

The person who knows what they’re doing would surely be able to diagnose the injectors if required?
